3. Construct the Stud Framing

NOTICE: Provide unrestricted service access to the pump, in-line heater and control box. You must construct an access panel to provide sufficient clearance for servicing the pump, in-line heater, and control box.

Construct stud framing designed for your particular installation.

Frame the ¯oor, or construct a frame for a raised installation in accordance with the roughing-in information. When constructing the framing, allow for the thickness of sub and ®nished deck materials. Framing should be of 2x4 construction.

Do not support the unit by the rim.

When planning the stud framing, take into account the required 2″ (5.1cm) air gap between the end of the ®ll spout and the top of the bathing well rim. Take into account the thickness of your planned ®nished deck material, and construct the framing and deck material with this minimum air gap in mind.

4. Install the Rough Plumbing

IMPORTANT! Choose a ®ll spout which will provide a minimum 2″ (5.1cm) air gap above the basin rim of the unit. In addition, if you plan to install a deck-mounted, hand-held shower, the diverter vacuum breaker must maintain a minimum 1″ (2.5cm) air gap above the outer rim of the unit.

NOTE: The listed Kohler spouts are designed to work with this bath at the listed location. There may be additional spouts that are not listed.

At the locations marked 9±1/2º (24.1cm), the Stillness™ Floor Mount Bath Filler Spout (K-8358), and the Stillness™ Laminar Ceiling/Wall Mount Faucet (K-923) are appropriate choices.

At the locations marked 7º (17.8cm) and 6±1/2º (16.5cm) the previously listed models apply along with the Stillness™ Deck-Mount High Flow Bath Faucet (K-954±4), the Finial Deck-Mount High Flow Bath Faucet (K-T314), the Alterna™ Deck-Mount High Flow Bath Faucet, and the Kallista Barbara Barry (P22603).

Position the plumbing. Position the ®ll spout supply so the spout will reach beyond both the outer rim and the bathing well rim. Water from the ®ll spout must be directed into the bathing well to ®ll the unit. The ®ll spout must reach beyond the inner edge of the over¯ow channel.

Cap the supplies, and check for leaks.

5. Prepare the Unit

Carefully lift the unit out of the carton.

Install the drain according to the drain manufacturer's instructions. Do not connect the trap at this time.

Position a clean drop cloth or similar material in the bottom of the bath. Be careful not to scratch the surface of the product.
